Coming Home

It's been a little while since I've had time to update this blog. The past couple weeks have been fun but a bit crazy -- jam packed with moving back home and trying to settle back into life in the States. I arrived home in Oregon late Wednesday night (June 6), spent most of Thursday unpacking and running around town with my mom, trying to get everything we needed for a visit from my baby nieces. Friday morning my sister and brother-in-law flew out with their twins for a two week visit in Oregon. This is my first time meeting the girls so it's been awesome to finally hug and kiss them and play with them in person. It took a couple days for them to get used to me, but now I'm definitely Chloe's favorite human. My life feels a little bit scattered right now and I have a feeling it's going to take a while to re-adjust and settle back in. Right now I'm living with my parents in Oregon, looking at a couple job opportunities up in
Washington, and most of my stuff is still in Missouri because that's where I was living before I went to Scotland. I'm looking to get my Masters Degree before I settle into a career, but before I can do that I need to work for about a year and save some money. Finding a job is the first thing on my agenda.....
1. Find a job.
2. Buy a car.
3. Get a cell phone.
4. Fly out to Missouri to get all my stuff.
5. Move to (Washington?) wherever my job is.
6. Find an apartment, a roommate, and other life essentials.
